COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONThis beer combines
the rich, roasty
flavors of a porter
with those found in
a traditional
pumpkin pie. The
complex aroma
practically jumps
from the glass. An
intriguing mix of chocolate and spice… The flavor is robust with
notes of dark chocolate, pumpkin pie and a caramel sweetness
accentuated by a generous addition of molasses to the boil. The
interplay of the cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice gives this
beer a very pleasant finish.
Additional Information:
The pumpkins used in this brew were grown at Larry Jacinto farms
right down the street from the brewery. We were very excited when
Larry told us that he had a great crop of pumpkins growing literally
½ mile from the brewery. Once the pumpkins were seeded and
quartered, we teamed up with the Gourmet Pizza shop in downtown
Redlands to utilize their giant pizza oven to help roast all that
pumpkin. This beer was a true community effort!

On tap at Stein’s Beer Garden. Rich pumpkin and spice aroma. I notice the body before the taste: super smooth and rich. Taste is rich (yes, this is beer is rich) with pumpkin, light spice, and sweet malts. Not as sweet as one might expect overall. Very good.

So many aggressive pumpkin beers out there and, although solid, this one just doesn’t stand up. Dark copper/mahogany pour with a small eggshell head. Cinnamon, nutmeg, caramel, ginger, and allspice are noticeable authentic pumpkin flavors. Love the story in the description, just wish I could taste it. Still would have another...

A very good pumpkin ale, without too much pumpkin. Pours a beautiful deep black with a thick white head. Smells of spices and a bit of pumpkin. Taste has just a hint of pumpkin in the start, replaced by chocolate milk and vanilla, with some spices and a bit of alcohol warmth in the finish. Had on tap at Sonoma Public House.
